Dr. Hahn is principal investigator of a multi-centre prospective study of seizures among comatose critically ill children, with goals to measure the prevalence of seizures, characterize patients at risk for seizures, and measure the impact of these seizures on functional and neuropsychological outcomes. His research group also continues to investigate the utility and implementation of quantitative EEG trending displays to assist with seizure identification among critically ill infants and children.  In addition, Dr. Hahn has held a leadership role in an international research consortium on critical care EEG monitoring, through which he and his group are contributing to several collaborative multi-center studies. He is a co-investigator on a cohort study investigating the impact of glucose control on neonatal seizures and brain development funded by CIHR and NIH.
